First Off-Screen NBA Live 18 Screenshot

If only they could improve the animations to match the quality of the graphics.

The player models look real sharp I can't wait to get my hands on this game.

Off screen screenshots are never good indicators.

That said, my thoughts:

Live skin textures have always been excellent. This year seems to be no exception.

I would like to think that the fact you can tell it is Avery Bradley, just by the slouch, is a good sign. But I have been lead astray before.

In regards to LeBron's muscularity, it is a welcome sight. Given the fact that 2k17 looks like a bunch of stretched out Gumby's trotting around. That said, I think his arm size looks a bit off because he is dribbling (only speculation based upon his hand position and that Bradley is on his right side).

Crowd looks active. I know it is blurred but it has a strangely realistic quality and lighting to it that is pleasant to look at. Curious to how it looks in game.

All that said, you can't play a screenshot. Still skeptical until I see more.

2K has been my game for I don't even know how long. But I just may try Live this time. I don't know what 2K did from 2K16 to 2K17. But its a different game. And NOT in a good way.

I love 2K but I have a bit of 2K fatigue, im more open to Live this year especially since it had a two year development cycle. Looking forward to seeing it in action, if they can't get the gameplay and animations right their year, then they probably never will.

I remember way back when, when Live was so much fun. Live would make you talk trash when you were crushing somebody. When the players actually played like themselves in the game. It used to feel so authentic. Now graphically NBA Live 16 was good. Courts, arenas, crowd were good. Most player likenesses were good. A few needed some extra work, but not a deal breaker. Animations really set the game back a bit. Fluid animations and signature dribbling are really,needed.Sounds were good. Crowd noise good. Commentary needed some work. Was not fluid enough. Sliders helped out to find a good balance to the gameplay. Post up game still needs some work. Pro-am and summer circuit were good. I believe the game as a whole is not far off. Animations, and authenticity can really go a long way with this. Hoping to have a good experience at EA play. Not looking to be blown away (but hey, if it happens, it happens). But rather hoping for those realistic improvements. Hoping for authenticity.

LOL!!
Gumby is the perfect way to describe their models.

Live's models usually make the players looked more jacked than they are but I don't think Lebron is too far off, dude is actually pretty jacked IRL
